A man who stayed at Curry Village in June died after contracting hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. A woman who also stayed in a canvas tent cabin about 100 feet from him on overlapping days has become seriously ill, park officials said.

Hantavirus is a real threat for all of us that like to explore in old buildings, mines, and machinery. Always be careful to not stir up and then breath the dust in those type of abandoned places. A particle mask would actually be a wise piece of kit if you regularly venture into remote old places which rodents likely inhabit.
